A Clone at Hogwarts part two
Chapter 1 Hermione's Haven
It was well past midnight on that May night, and the fire crackled as Hermione Granger laid on one of the couches in the common room, her head resting on her boyfriend, Jack O'Neill's, lap. "Just think, Jack," whispered Hermione. "It's been over a year since the whole Merlin thing."
Jack looked down at her "Yeah, I wish Merlin would of given use some more useful things though."
"I'm sure he would have, but you know how that goes," she said, referring to Merlin's trip into the Ori galaxy. "He gave up his life in order to destroy the Ori, what more could we have demanded of him?"
"I know," sighed Jack. "At least Earth is safe, and Merlin did show us how to make ZPMs and drones."
"Yeah," Hermione yawned. "But what about Voldermort? He's still out there."
"Carter said a team at Area 51 is working on weapons that can help us fight old Voldy," Jack replied with a yawn of his own.
Hermione just couldn't help herself from laughing. "Man," she thought. "I'm so lucky to have Jack. It seems like all girls in the school are either after Jack or Harry, and I have Jack." Hermione's eyes looked over to the nearby recliner where Harry sat fast asleep with Ginny as she fought to stay awake so that she could study. "And Ginny has Harry."
"Ginny looks just like you did the week before your exam," stated Jack as Ginny finally lost the battle and her eyes closed, her book falling into her lap. "For almost two weeks I think all I got was one word answers from you."
"Yup," said Hermione softly as she felt Jack hand come down on her back, slowly and rubbing it. Hermione just couldn't take it anymore. The combination of the late hour, the back rub and warmth of Jack, it was too much for her to deal with. Her eyes began to close. "Goodnight Jack," she said, leaving Jack in a room filled with sleeping people.
The next day Jack walked down the halls apprehensively. Everything in the school was fine; it was the outside world that worried him. Voldermort was gaining power fast, and people were mysteriously missing or dying by the day. Having just thought this, Dumbledore appeared from around the corner. "Mr. O'Neill, will you come with me please?"
A few minutes later Jack was standing in Dumbledore's office. Dumbledore tiredly sat down behind his desk. He seemed to have aged fast in such a little amount of time. His eyes had deep bags under them and one of his hands was just skin and bones. "Jack" said Dumbledore weakly, his voice almost like an echo "Tonight Harry and I will be leaving Hogwarts for a short time. In the meantime, I have reason to believe that Hogwarts will be attacked. I want you to be ready for a full scale fight. Also, I may not make it through the night," said Dumbledore calmly, Jack's blood running cold.
"Then don't do it," replied Jack as he looked at Dumbledore "Harry is now just getting over Sirius' death and Ron's supposed death. Without you, I don't think he will be able to fight Voldermort."
To Jack's surprise, Dumbledore smiled as he pulled out a small flask filled with a silver liquid "I am grateful for your words, but I think you underestimate Mr. Potter. After tonight, Harry will know what his task will be and he will have a new mentor. You, Colonel Jack O'Neill, may have to guide him through this task."
"I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but most of the time it was Carter who came up with the plans. I just threw in my two pennies worth every once in a while," said Jack to the old man
"How about Miss Granger?" suggested Dumbledore with a wink.
"I will not risk her life in any occasion," he said defiantly. But, after a moment's reflection, acquiesced. "However, there's no way I could stop her from helping Harry."
"Very well," said Dumbledore as he handed the flask to Jack "In this are Harry's memories of the night in the ministry that I took before I changed his memory. If I should die all he has to do is drink the liquid and the memories will return."
Jack took the flask, and with a deep sense of helplessness, sighed.
Part two has come. I was a little saddened that I go no reviews for the end of part 1 but so be it. Onward to part 2. I know some people are wondering why I skipped ahead almost a whole book. Well I never really liked book 6 and most of my good ideas happened in book 7 so I skipped ahead. Also Ron has not returned yet. I would also like to say that I am working on what could become part 3 or the end of part 2 depending on the length. Please review.
